Do You Really Know What Music Sounds Like?

Roger Skoff at Positive Feedback

An amusing and entertaining article. A few quotes:

"If you're satisfied with music that's ... pleasing to you and makes you feel good, regardless of how accurate it is to reality, good for you!"

"It doesn't really matter what kind of music it is, or even whether you like it. What you'll be listening to is not the music, but the sound of the music..."

"... we need to know what the reality we're trying to re-create actually sounds like."
